I have made progess
I promise I'm still progressing toward my goals, but our computer at home decided to catch on fire, so I haven't been able to post much. Hopefully, it will be replaced soon. :)

February Check In
Yes, I know it is March 7. February was a crazy month!!
The joy of LOVE fizzled. I would like to complete it, but it is obviously going to take some time. I still have the emails from the days I didn't do.
The good news is that, even though I've been slack on blogging, I haven't been slack on reaching my goals. I am not doing well with the budgeting. We really need to get on track. But we are saving and paying down our home equity line at a higher rate than before, so it's not all bad. Plus, we have two kids in day care, so I have to cut myself a little slack.
I have one more photography class left. I haven't learned as much as I had hoped to, but it was a decent investment of time. I definitely still have a lot to learn.
I have this fairly-cute picture of the kids from February. I have more on my camera still. I'll try to upload and organize some tonight.
I tried to get a picture of them together decked out in red/pink for Valentine's Day, but they were not cooperating that day.
Our garden is still on, but with some changes. As I suspected after doing further research, my seedlings didn't make it. We don't have enough natural light to start plants from seed. They were doing okay actually until one particularly sunny day I decided to move the seedlings outside. They died that day, probably because it was a little windy. We bought the lumber last night to build our raised beds, and my goal is to have them set up by the end of next weekend.
We have made great strides toward cleaning/organizing the garage and bonus room. My ILs are coming at the end of this month, and I hope that the bonus room is done (except for the closet) by then. The garage probably won't be touched any more this month.
We haven't started building E's bookshelf yet. I'm still working on the gallery ledges for the kitchen. I just bought a corded sander (we did have a battery-operated one that was a pain) last night, so hopefully that will help. The hardest part of that whole project will be sanding the boards. I hope to start her bookshelves by her birthday in June, so we have time.
I haven't started running yet, but I have been walking on a regular basis. I'm going to start running once I'm finished nursing (June-ish).
So...I'm still here and still making progress even though I have been pretty silent.
